    Buff Sussex now has no feathers on neck - bleeding!

    Thank you so very much for the reply. I have washed her, and I can't see any mites but I'll dust them all anyway. Are these mites that can be seen? I plan to keep her caged up until she heals. Do you think I'm giving them too many treats? They don't seem that interested in their mesh. I read...

    Wheezing hen

    Wow, I was afraid of that. I couldn't kill "Bumkin" without exausting every and all other options. Why do they call it cull? That seems really dumb to me. As if giving it another name makes it easier.

    lala: I am guessing that something is in her throat because she moves like she's trying to swallow something big. I was feeling around her neck, and there is a ball, the size of a marble, in her throat, near the top. Is that normal for a large chicken?

    Wheezing hen

    I was able to hold her for about 10 minutes, she is still having a hard time. She opens her beek on the exhale. I noticed she was itching her nose area, could she be allergic to straw? We just put a bunch in the coop. Her eyes still look clear, and she's eating everything so she can't be that...

    Wheezing hen

    Help please, my 7mth old hen started wheezing after a breakfast of fresh spinach, watermelon, hot dog buns and feed. She seemed to have something in her throat. She drank water ok, then went into the corner of the coop, and closed her eyes, standing up, and her head was up. She seemed to be...
